Guaranteed Legal Protection for Malware Victims in Indonesia

The Indonesian government's efforts to provide guaranteed legal protection to the public are by Article 27 of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE). Article 27 of the ITE Law is a critical legal basis for regulating protection against electronic transactions and cybercrimes in Indonesia. In realizing this guarantee of legal protection, the government is faced with various obstacles such as limited resources, technological complexity, cross-regional and international cooperation, protection of personal data, suboptimal understanding of the law, commercial interests as well as legal and ethical challenges. To overcome these obstacles, strategic steps are required, such as increasing the effectiveness of law enforcement, educating the public about cyber security, cross-sector collaboration, and regular regulatory evaluation. The implementation of these steps is expected to improve cyber security, protect individual rights, and ensure the continued use of information technology in Indonesia. In this way, people can feel safer and more protected when making online transactions. The government needs to continue making efforts to maintain cyber security, enforce the law fairly, and ensure that the guarantee of legal protection by Article 27 of the ITE Law can be implemented effectively for the common good.
